    @ National Media Museum – Typo in title: Ninely

    From Science & Society Picture Library:

    "A photograph titled 'Ninety and Nine', showing an elderly shepherd carrying a lamb and holding a crook, taken by Colonel Joseph Gale (c 1835-1906) in 1890. This image of rustic life shows a shepherd resting at a gate to his field, a lamb under his arm. His faithful sheep-dog waits in the background for his master's next command.

    " 'Ninety and Nine' is a Biblical reference. The Gospel writer, Matthew, recounts Jesus' parable, 'The Lost Sheep' — about a shepherd with a 100 sheep who goes out to look for the one sheep that had gone missing. Joseph Gale specialised in naturalistic photographs of rural life and figures in landscapes. He was one of the first members of the Linked Ring Brotherhood and was also a member of the Royal Photographic Society."

    It would be very interesting to know where in Egypt this picture was made, or what the man's background was.
  • it is aai! said:
    The title is: "Derwiche pelerin" so this man is a "traveling sufi man", a "pelgrim derwish".

    well, i don't think he's an egyptian. from his appearance i can tell that he's a Bedouin! it's very obvious 'cause in Egypt men don't wear this kind of outfits specially in the 1800's when it was part of The Ottoman Empire! i guess he's a Bedouin from the Arabian peninsula who traveled to Egypt! that's what i believe! very interesting picture! :)
